This five-step regimen is clinically proven to significantly lighten dark spots, dramatically brighten and even-out skin tone, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help improve overall skin health.
  • Phloretin CF: Broad-spectrum antioxidant reduces environmental damage and diminishes hyperpigmentation.
  • Retexturing Activator: Resurfacing and replenishing serum promotes efficient exfoliation.
  • Retinol 0.5: Refining night treatment with 0.5% pure retinol stimulates cell regeneration and turnover.
  • Pigment Regulator: Potent, yet safe daily skin-brightening treatment lightens dark spots and evens skin tone.
  • Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50: Broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen protects against future UV-induced discoloration while enhancing natural skin tone and boosting daily radiance.
clinical study
In a dermatologist-controlled clinical study of 58 females ages 35 to 65, daily compliance of the Advanced Brightening System resulted in a 55% improvement in skin radiance at 8 weeks.
before-after
Science
The combination of these products diminishes dark spots and boosts radiance through three modes of action: Photoprotection, exfoliation, and excess melanin production.
use
In the morning after cleansing and toning, apply 4-5 drops of Phloretin CF® to face, neck, and chest. Avoid contact with eyes. Apply 4-6 drops of Retexturing Activator® to face, neck, and chest. Apply a small amount of Pigment Regulator to a dry face and other affected areas. Apply a liberal amount of Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 to the entire face, neck and chest.

In the evening after cleansing and toning, apply a pea sized amount of Retinol 0.5 to a dry face, carefully avoiding eyes. Allow to absorb before applying additional product. Apply a small amount of Pigment Regulator to face and other affected areas


It is normal for vitamin C products to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. Any change in color does not affect the product's efficacy.

Retinol is photosensitizing—broad spectrum sun protection is a must when retinol is part of your skincare regimen.

Advanced Brightening System 4.7 5 7 7
An effective and safe alternative I've had adult acne for 4 years. After the Accutane medication dealt with the acne I was left with ugly brown spots all over my cheeks. My dermatologist put me on hydroquinone which was effective, but once I did some research on the advice of my aesthetician I found out it is banned throughout Europe--concerning to say the least. I decided to give this system a try and was pleasantly surprised. I've been using it for about 6 weeks now and am pleasantly surprised. It has made a difference in both the look of the brown spots and the texture of my skin. The brown spots are not gone, but significantly lighter in color and my skin feels smoother. Chances are no product will be able to completely get rid of the brown marks and I'll need to get IPL, but at least now I don't look in the mirror and want to cry because of the effects of the acne.

Love these products!! I have a bad hyper-pigmentation problem for a few year now and had gotten bad since my last pregnancy. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but with not much luck. I'm an Esthetician so I do know what I'm doing and what to look for, but I found that being Asian make the hyper-pigmentation harder to get rid of. I was going to do some laser trements but found that to be too expensive. Lucky for me i started working for a luxury spa and they carry Skinceauticals, i read about the products and the technology behind skinceauticals and fell in love. I've been using the Advanced brightening system for about 4 weeks now and my skin is sooo much brighter, smoother and the pigmentation have gotten a lot lighter. Oh and the wrinkles gone!! I got oil skin and the sunblock is the perfect, the best sunblock I ever used. I can't say enough about how great this products are. Now my sisters are using them too. March 20, 2012
Worth it? I'd say. This skin care system is quite expensive. So, after having tried it out for two weeks, I am comfortable giving extensive reviews. The first question one might pose is whether the product is worth his/her money. In my opinion, yes. In first few uses, do not expect to see immediate results. However, if you are patient enough (~2 weeks), you will realize that the product is quite effective. The Brightening System comes with a total of five products, Phloretin CF, Retexturing Activator, Pigment Regulator, Retinol (0.5% v/v?), and Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. DO READ THE PAMPHLETS within the packaging of each product as you will find in-depth directions and suggestions of product application. You will need to give yourself ~15 minutes of buffer time each morning to properly apply the products. I have found that if you do not follow their directions, the product will not properly absorb, resulting in residual oiliness of the skin. The company suggests applying 4-5 droplets of Phloretin CF and Retexturing Activator. However, I have found that 3 droplets were sufficient to cover my petite face. Do not continue to rub the your skin to force absorption of the product; allow it to absorb naturally. This is especially true for the Retexturing Activator. I am pleased with all the products except for the SPF 30 sunscreen. If I apply the SPF30 sunscreen in conjunction with the products, my skin gets oily. It gets even worse if I do not the let product fully absorb. So, to fix the problem, I have allowed time for product absorption and replaced the SPF 30 with their Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. Again, the same rule applies to the application of the sunscreen. If you follow these directions and are patient with the products, you will see that they system works like wonders! December 20, 2011
